Mission Statement

The Center for Community Engagement prepares students for lives of meaning and impact through service, scholarship, and citizenship. Our programs work to strengthen communities and contribute to the public good.

For Community Partners

We can work together.

Center for Community Engagement programs connect College students, staff, and faculty with teaching, learning, research, and service opportunities in the wider Addison County community. Our relationships with Community Partners vitally inform and support students' educations through direct contextualization and collaboration, and Middlebury undergraduates have contributed important support to many of Addison County's private, public, and not-for-profit organizations.

Students contributed roughly 3000 hours of work to our food and housing programs [during winter 2014], which is equivalent to 1.5 full time people. Students bring energy, vitality, and new ideas to our housing and food programs. These same traits contribute to the spirit of community, neighbor helping neighbor, that enriches all our programs. – Doug Sinclair, President & Housing Programs Director, Charter House Coalition
